Unfair competition is an actual thing, but French law is civil law and not common law so I can't really make this any clearer.
I guess I thought when it came to any laws governing competition the end goal was to always protect consumers. IE: If Google was leveraging their powerful position in the market to charge consumers an excessive amount to use Google Maps, and push out any other competitors who might charge lower prices, THEN it makes sense to step in.
In this case this is something that clearly benefits consumers which is why I'm like WAT.

Regardless of how the rules work, it's pretty shit. I took solace in a French court upholding a fraud conviction against the Church of Scientology.
Ha I'll give the French courts a consolation point for that. I'm still waiting for the US to get their shit together and revoke Scientology's tax-exempt status.
